We've Got a Container Full of Rusty Nails for Sally!

In case you didn't read Sally's comment on the last blog entry, I suggest taking a peak at it so this title will make sense. She is a funny one that Sally! While she is chewing on rusty nails -- which someone in the family should do to ensure the delicate flowers in the family don't have to-- Arrow and I continue to support each other through our very eventful days.

We had a very nice weekend on the Cape this past weekend. I think it was a really good thing for us to go there. Arrow loves her pond and feels so energized by walking around and checking out the territory. She gets to say hi to the ducks, look for food outside Link and Marge's house, and hunt for rocks in the water. It was a bit cold so we didn't spend a lot of time outside nor did we get to the beach, but she ran around the pond. She is 100% better (for both moms) and shows each of us just how incredible she is.

She got to bring her friend Buttons to the Cape. There was one little incident where Buttons assumed she was doing a little bit better than Arrow was actually willing to admit. Arrow had a stick in her mouth and Button charged her trying to take it form her. Arrow yelped (I don't think she actually got hurt by Buttons, but definitely got scared) and when Buttons came running back at her with a little growl, the "rusty nail" Arrow had enough and bared her teeth, snapped, and chased Buttons. We actually had to call her off at which point she ran up to both Sally and I as if to say, "She scared me, I think I might be hurt. Do I look OK? Am I bleeding?" She actually was bleeding a little because her little scar had cracked (no fault of Buttons, her skin is just so dry). But she is no worse for the wear. Today she was even quicker on her feet, leading us down to the river with her head held high and prancing away as if she were auditioning to be one of Santa's reindeer!

We are in search of a little doggie sweater for her to keep her side warm and protected from the sun. Any fashion tips are appreciated!
